摘要:
A conveyor device capable of moving a package also in a main direction orthogonal to a direction of conveyance, and thereby making it possible to change and maintain a package in any posture. The conveyor device 30 of the present invention is formed by coupling a plurality of conveyor sub-units 1 in an endless manner while each sub-unit 1 by itself has a function as a belt conveyor and the drive direction of the belt of the conveyor sub-unit 1 is in a direction orthogonal to the main direction of conveyance of the conveyor device 30. Some or all of the conveyor sub-units 1 constituting the conveyor device 30 can be made to operate in cooperation with each other by combining the conveyor device 30 with a control instruction device. The conveyor sub-unit 1 comprises a belt, a drive, means for the belt, a communication means for communicating with a control instruction device and other conveyor sub-units, a detecting means for detecting the position of a package on the belt, and control means for driving the belt forward or in reverse by using information from each of said means.

A plurality of buses are provided on a backplane, while these buses can be used by different CPU boards and a shared memory can be accessed by each CPU. The arrangement above has a plurality of CPUs made it possible that function on a single backplane and these CPUs share data by using the shared memory. In addition, the slots for functional boards can be distributed between arbitrary buses, making it possible to adjust the number of functional boards used by each CPU board as well as to achieve flexibility in selecting the number of functional boards being used in accordance with the purpose of a particular CPU board.
摘要:
A computer-readable recording medium where there is recorded thereon a method for accessing a peripheral device and a software for executing the method just like in the case of reading or writing an ordinary address from an application program of computer. This is accomplished by reserving a continuous memory space apart from the control of the operating system, assigning a common address name to each block of a specific width within said memory space, making it possible to select, for each block, at least either that it is used without any change as a memory area or that it is used to access a peripheral device, whereby, of the blocks, as for the block to be used as a memory area, placing the data serving as the memory contents in the block, or, as for the block to be used for accessing peripheral devices placing information about the peripheral devices to be accessed in the block.

Information about the size and posture of an object of detection as well as about the distance between objects is instantly processed and supplied for external use without waiting for the objects having passed. An information reader comprises camera means (3) set up above a path (2) for take a crane shot of the path (2) within a predetermined range; a sensor (4) placed above a path (2) next to the camera means (3) for detecting the distance to the path (2); a processor (5) that receives the digital image data taken by the camera means (2) in response to detection of an object passing in the path (2) so as to recognize the profile of the object, calculates the height of the object based on the variation in value detected by the sensor, and performs corrective operations on the actual length and width of the object based on its apparent length and width corresponding to the pixel array of the profile data on the basis of corrective values the apparent image size corresponding to the camera distance; and output means (6) for producing the results of operation.
